Their are alot of things that i would like to see the white house bring up. I support the war and would (if I myself was listened to) would talk about the terrorist connection much more to show that in a way, yes 9/11 is part of the connection. So there Barbara Streisand.

I sometimes wonder if Bush Senior has passed along to Bush Junior the CIA way of thinking. “I need to know everything, you don’t need to know anything.”

A more charitable explanation is that Junior is a natural poker-player, or a natural Texan. “I ain’t gonna say nothing, because you wouldn’t believe it anyway. Just wait till I do something, then you’ll know what I’m after.”

My theory is that making an Iraqi connection to the September 11 attacks (or the subsequent anthrax) would make war with Iraq both urgent and impossible to avoid. It appears to me that the war plan has depended on on a slow buildup of force with a lot of distractions for Saddam. I imagine the planners think Saddam is waiting for the war to start to launch his doomsday scenarios, so they have planned a war without a start, so to speak. “No Fly” Patrols have tripled and there have been acknowledgements that US Special forces are on the ground in Iraq, yet if Saddam does anything, it would only make it look like he started the war. In fact, Saddam has been forced to destroy some of his own weapons in order to avoid looking like he started the war.

If Bush went to Congress with actual evidence that Saddam was behind the September 11 attacks, everyone would be clamoring for an immediate attack, and patience would have to go out the window. If he had gone to the UN with such proof a year ago, they might have blessed the attack, which would have surely resulted in Saddam using every weapon available.

A good question to be sure. In my view, there’s so much ‘resistance’ to believing facts as presented (think flat earthers), he’s not wasting time on the matter…at this moment.

Besides, the truth coming out after the fact (captured documents and eyewitnesses), will turn into a case of ‘fatal embarassment’ for the donks.
